If you’re affected by dementia, the Alzheimer's Society want to hear from you

Please share with us what small action you’d like people to take that will have the biggest impact to your life. It could be as simple as asking people to be more patient in checkout queues. It could be including the person with dementia in conversations, or simply taking the time to pop round and visit.

During Dementia Action Week, we will be sharing the most popular ideas and asking everyone across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to take these actions and unite with us against dementia.

Alzheimer’s Society is committed to creating a dementia-friendly UK. We want people affected by dementia feel part of society and can carry on doing the things they want for as long as possible – free from fear and prejudice.

We are leading the movement for change – but we need everyone to play their part. Only united can we create the world that people affected by dementia want and have a right to see.

The Dementia Statements and rights will underpin the campaign. They reflect the things people with dementia have said are essential to their quality of life. Grounded in human rights law, they are a rallying call to improve the lives of people with dementia.
